This is good stuff. Getting away from console command line apps will be a big plus for many people.

That extended mount could hold a few X apps which could be launched from this menu system, and no SSH needed to use them. Now we just need to get X apps to update the framebuffer. xdaliclock and xeyes seem to run okay using built-in X display :0.0, but nothing ends up on the display. xcalc complains about being unable to load a usable font though, and xconsole complains about "Input Method Open Failed".
